pretty much sums it up[what a disappointment.. apart from the scrum it didnt seem like the french had to do much but soak up the pressure and wait for leinster mistakes (some annoying and stupid ones too). backs had a resemblance to ire-fra match and couldnt seem to not drop the ball. lack of creativity with passes spread to traffic too much without puttin em where the gaps were. backs ran better off set pieces but to little effect. but WOW the scrum was jus painful to watch.. sorry for the negativity.. hopefully munster will be better!
Well I'd be more disappointed but this was always coming. To win in Toulouse you need to bring a bit of spark with you and ,let's face it, we've been pretty pure in attack all year.
Oh well, all in all a decent defence of our ***le. All I was looking for was a ML final and the Heineken Cup semi's so I'm okay with it. There's always next year.
cn healy learn how to scrum? never was good idea to start him

Thinking about this game again: we were missing Sean O'Brien, Luke Fitzgerald and Johnny Sexton who are all big players for us. Toulouse have a massive panel but I doubt even they could afford to lose players of that quality. Ah well, I hope they go on and win it now. Couldn't put up with another year of Munster gloating.
Traditional nationalism cannot survive the fissioning of the atomSpiteful oaf wouldn't even cheer for your countrymen?
Fairly certain that even if we get to the final we'll get owned.
Leinstwr were poor today. Spark seems gone in midfield really. With Luke Fitz, Sexton and O'Brien out, they looked a rather old team.
This is my biggest criticism of Alan Gaffney's coaching. Leinster are good off first phase but there's no invention beyond that. Joe Schmidt seems to be a genius when it comes to coaching backlines. He has the raw materials in Kearney, Conway, Nacewa, Horgan, O'Driscoll, D'arcy, McFadden, O'Malley, Fitzgerald and Sexton to get the back division firing again.yea i was also thinking the midfield looked pretty stale. the darcy/bod midfield has always been a fave of mine for god knows how long but i cant help but keep thinkin there needs to be a change.
Leinster tighthead got screwed every time. No hope for them after that.
Skrela's try too easy because Darcy was caught out of position.
